- Handmade hardwood Judaica
Gary Markow has been working in wood for more than thirty years. After studying at the New York Institute of Technology, he turned his woodworking passion into a full-time career, and in 1990 he opened his first studio, making wooden bowls on a lathe. His work turned toward Judaica built from domestic and exotic hardwoods, and his adjustable menorah and challah boards became his most popular pieces.
At ModernTribe you'll find his challah boards, each inscribed with the hamotzi, the blessing over bread. Every board is pieced together from local and exotic woods, so no two look alike, and each one is made to order. One version adds a glass cup and a stainless steel cup for salt or honey.
